Brick thrown at restaurant window in Brentford

A BRENTFORD restaurant came under attack on Tuesday night while diners ate their food.

La Rosetta, an Italian Restaurant in Brentford High Street, Brentford, had one of its windows smashed on August 9 while customers were still inside the building.

Amy Dunleavy, a hairdresser at Jeffrey's Haircutters next door to the eatery, said a brick was thrown at the window.

She added: "It's all quite scary, I didn't want to work alone today."

Elsewhere in Brentford a couple of shops including Naked Grain, a furniture shop in Brentford High Street, were boarded up as precautionary measures against looting.

However, drinkers in the Beehive Pub, in Brentford High Street, say that despite rumours of gangs outside the pub last night, they heard nothing.

One, who did not want to named, said: " A lot of this is just rumours, my daughter told me Asda was on fire and there were huge gangs on the Chiswick Island waiting to come into Brentford and it is just all rumours. Someone on Twitter is trying to scare people, that's all."

Police have confirmed that they arrested arrested eight people after stones were thrown at officers by a group of approximately 20 youths in Brentford causing a dent to their police van.
